TO ALL HOLDERS OF OPERATING LICENSES, APPLICANTS FOR OPERATING LICENSES

AND HOLDERS OF CONSTRUCTION PERMITS FOR POWER REACTORS

Gentlemen:

Subject: Deletion of Standard Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.d.6 for Diesel Generator Testing

.(Generic Letter No. 83-30 )

It has come to our attention that diesel generator Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.d.6 in the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) should be deleted.

The current revision of the STS for all power reactors is not consistent with the provisions of GDC 17, Regulatory Guide 1.108 and the NRC Standard Review Plans (SRPs 8.2 and 8.3.1). In order to rectify this inconsistency, the Surveillance Requirements for diesel generator testing have been modified to delete a requirement which is In excess of the scope of GDC 17.

We have enclosed the revised Surveillance Requirements for diesel generator testing that are to be used in your submittal of proposed Technical Specifi- cations, or, if your proposed Technical Specifications have already been submitted, the staff will make the necessary revisions. If you already hold a operating license which includes this Surveillance Requirement, you may propose an amendment to your Technical Specifications In accordance with the enclosed revised Surveillance Requirements. These changes will be incorporated in the next revision of the STS for all power reactors. The generic changes are indicated by a line in the margin of the Surveillance Requi rements.

This request has been approved by OMB Clearance Number 3150-0011 which expires t::Apri 1 30, 1985.
